Sons Of Anarchy star, actor Charlie Hunnam is preparing to show off his Muay Thai chops according to a new report from ScreenDaily with news on the pending production of A Prayer Before Dawn. The news comes as one in a batch of recent casting headlines in the last several months which also include a potential lead role in Guy Ritchie's forthcoming King Arthur film saga and the recently-announced Pacific Rim 2.

The ever-expanding Marvel movie multiverse has been on a warpath this year with its amazing franchises already coming into fruition. The work currently being done with Tim Miller's Deadpool and Marvel's 2015 Netflix line-up, in addition to talks of a female spidey feature film, as well as the possible revival of semi-human vampire hunter, Blade, and L.L. Cool J's most recent Tweet boasting a future Marvel role have pretty much overshadowed that of the recent announcement Warner Bros. made for its own superhero line-up a few weeks ago; They're catching up, but in the eyes of comic book fans in both camps, apparently not fast enough.

Director Claudio Fäh's action-packed period epic, Northmen: A Viking Saga is currently enduring a theatrical run through Europe, introducing a harrowing tale of survival about a group of maurauders who must survive their way through to a Viking settlement after getting shipwrecked off the coast of Scotland. The film itself has some mixed reviews although the trailers themselves divulge plenty their fair share of epic viking brutality and danger which ought to woo anyone who loves a good sword-swinger of a thriller.

Not too long after the unveiling of the latest teaser trailer for director Christian Sesma's 2015 action thriller, Vigilante Diaries, the production released the first of pending poster art ahead of its upcoming presentation at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, California next month. The film is offering a mixed bag of new faces to its old line-up originally stemming from its earlier roots as a hopeful Chill.com exclusive webseries, boasting crazy, high-octane action and spectacle with stylish storytelling, and fully-loaded characters to make this feature-length expansion worth every playing minute.

Lionsgate was pretty smart in being the ones to bring author Suzanne Collins' YA novel series, The Hunger Games, into fruition as a live-action feature film franchise. Now on its way with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 the third installment of its 3.4 part saga on November 20 with the fourth and final film arriving one year from then, the franchise has been nothing short of a tremendous success story starring actress Jennifer Lawrence, whose status as an actress has become more and more signified by her successes as the world's highest grossing action heroine in the world officially by Guiness, which, to say the least makes her the most bankable. That fact remained just as clear as it did last month, according to AMC's latest record ticket sales this week for the Hunger Games marathon in advance of the new film's upcoming release.

Much like Akira and Ghost In The Shell at the time, earlier efforts seemed almost boundless for 20th Century Fox's hopes for a feature-length live-action adaptation of Watanabe Shinichiro's 1998 animated series, Cowboy Bebop, based on the preceding manga publication from Kadokawa and Tokyopop a year earlier from author Cain Kuga. However, it has been over six years since veteran producer Erwin Stoff made it publicly known he was working to help make this possible, and even with the attachment of Watanabe as one of the film's associate producers close to the original material along with animation company, Sunrise Inc., it appears progress has been nothing short of languishing.

Not too long before the release of director Roy Chow's upcoming origin kung fu epic, Rise Of The Legend, we now have another new featurette from Yahoo!, as well as some cool new banner art for fans to check out below. Eddie Peng stars as the title character, Wong Fei-Hung, late and legendary martial arts master and healer from which many films of yesteryear have been based.

The past two days have been nothing short of active in lieu of recently-revealed promotional pics from Entertainment Weekly's exclusive coverage of director Alan Taylor's trilogy reboot starter, Terminator: Genisys. Based on EW's coverage, the film, writen by Patrick Lussier and Laeta Kalogridis, will forsee a revamp of the story that centers on iconic heroine Sarah Connor's orphaned upbringing beginning at the age of nine years old upon the arrival of a Terminator who becomes her "guardian" who she addresses as "Pops". Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has either starred in or appeared in all previous Terminator films dating back to helmer James Cameron's successful first in 1984, is returning to reprise the classic role as the killer-cyborg from the future whose living tissue, sitting atop his metal alloy, has become the segway for the Terminator's "aging" process while co-existing with mankind.

While heavily underway with the current production with director Renny Harlin on the globe-trotting action comedy, Skiptrace, action legend Jackie Chan is poised for an epic premiere of his latest big scale action epic, Dragon Blade. Having already made a hearty impression through international sales earlier this year during Cannes, the film, directed by Daniel Lee is currently expected to begin its release run this February in Asia.

Lionsgate unveiled eight new character posters this week ahead of the upcoming release of director Robert Schwentke's installment of the second part of Lionsgate's growing successful film franchise, The Divergernt Series: Insurgent. The posters arrived this week featuring Ansel Elgort as Caleb Prior, Maggie Q as Tori, Keiynan Lonsdale as Uriah, Mekhi Pfeiffer as Max, Miles Teller as Peter, Zoë Kravitz as Christina, Theo James as Four and Shailene Woodley as lead heroine Tris, along with official news that the film would be released in 3D. The illustrious posters below were unveiled in the same fashion. Check them out below.

While filmmaker and popular stage director Toa Fraser is on his way with the forthcoming production of his new hostage thriller, 6 Days, his latest completed project is already paving the way for filmgoers to get a glimpse of an ancient era of Maori culture, now in the form of the new period action epic, The Dead Lands. The film is out this week in New Zealand with pending releases in other territories worldwide, and based on the reviews now published at various media sites, it's pretty easy to conclude this as one of the best received films as of late, on top of being an Oscar contender for next year.

In anticipation of this Sunday's broadcast of the official trailer for Furious 7, the production has spent the past week hitting the internet hard and heavy with a new viral social media campaign titled "The Road to Furious 7", rolling out categorized featurettes highlighting various aspects of the epic franchise exhibited in all the films dating back to 2001. As such, Wednesday saw the release of a few videos and pictures showcasing the franchise's explosive, bone-crunching fight sequences, with the biggest highlight being the principal fight between characters Dominic Torretto and D.S.S. Agent Luke Hobbs, played respectively by actors Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, in addition to another seven-second Vine teasing action from the upcoming seventh installment franchise, briefly showcasing late actor Paul Walker in action opposite a badass-looking Tony Jaa on screen, as well as the two lovely-looking femme fatales, Michelle Rodriguez and MMA supe…

Continuing to adhere to the appeal of young adults, expect another entry into the live-action YA PG-13 genre with upcoming action adventure flick, The 5th Wave. The book franchise from author Rick Yancey is part of a pending trilogy of its own and may even follow suit on the big screen if this one is successful, and it very well may be, considering the popularity of films like the current Hunger Games saga and Divergent series films.

Filmmaker R.L. Scott is proudly announcing his latest shortfilm, one in a handful of projects currently in development for his indie platform, Shadow Motion Pictures. Newly wrapping just this week after a two-month shooting schedule, post-production is officially underway for Option Zero, a half-hour pilot for a hopeful action packed series surrounding a special ops team tasked with taking down high-ranking members of the Russian mob.

The on-going war for bragging rights continues as Marvel and DC continue to duke it out, toe-to-toe, neck and neck for ultimate live-action comic book TV and film glory. DC is currently in the running following its most recent productions of productions for Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, as well as the developing TV universe between current shows like Gotham, Arrow and The Flash, and upcoming teleivison properties like Titans, Supergirl and Krypton.

Filmmaker Michael Mann has a true knack for extrapolating raw, visual grit to his style of storytelling. Espionage, crime, murder, thrilling drama all good elements that help set up a great Mann-directed thriller, although in the case of his latest, Blackhat, we get a dash of international terror and active cybercrime thrown in the mix. And who is left to the task of dealing with such a new global technological threat? Well that would be none other than lead actor Chris Hemsworth, who knows his way around an action role, so this shouldn't be too hard, what with bullets flying and all, life of death situations, etc. All in a days' work, really.

The fifth and final episode of this season for Nightwing: The Series aired on Monday following a five-week run beginning in September. Created by lead actor Danny Shepherd and directed by Adam Zielinski, the series pits our main hero at the forefront of Bludhaven's latest threat, Deathstroke, while dealing with internal turmoil among friends past and present, as well as his own pride as a post-Batman standalone crimefighter.

UK filmmaker Robin Schmidt's on going endeavors in the action genre remain to be seen following the completion of his latest shortfilm, Dog. However, considering the accolades he and the other half of his indie platform, We Are Supermassive, lead actor Simon Wan have received during their film festival run this year, one may hope that if not a sequel, that another action-packed project from the duo may come to pass.

This year's American Film Market in Santa Monica, California will be chock full of groups promoting their projects, including some notable action-packed features as well. Plus Entertainment will be one of those on hand next month for action star Olivier Gruner's new movie, The Chemist, directed by veteran action filmmaker Art Camacho. The film is currently in post-production, but will be up for pre-sales to help gain some ground for its pending territorial releases, and to help serve its purpose, we now have a brand new AFM sales trailer for the public to view below the announcement!

If you didn't care much for a perfect action movie back in 2007 with Scott Wiper's The Condemned, chances are you might have liked it more than most. It starred then-lead actor and wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin opposite a ferocious performance by actor Vinnie Jones and proved be a well-worthy, violently entertaining popcorn fun for action fans, with brutal action sequences by stunt coordinated by the one and only Richard Norton.

Actor and stuntman D.Y. Sao has offically launched his latest dabble in independent filmmaking with the first episode of the new webseries, Cambodian Killers. While nothing short of an experiment in film for Sao, what we get from the footage nontheless graces us with a flurry of high-impact fight choreography with a promising cast to boot. Of course though, every good martial arts film project needs a good story, and so based on Sao's own concept, the official series synopsis is available below, written by yours truly!

Aside from taking center stage on an alluring set of patriotic posters for his upcoming commando action thriller, Wolf Warriors, multifaceted martial arts action star Wu Jing is finally getting his day at the American Film Market next month for his new directorial debut. The film is one of the few final performances from the beloved genre favorite in lieu of mandatory leg surgery which has since put his career on indefinite hold.

It's been several years since development began on Marvel's forthcoming live-action Doctor Strange contribution to the studio's now-accumulating cinematic universe. The script assignment has also changed a few hands prior to the addition of Jon Spaihts as the writer and Scott Derrickson as director, while it was still being debated on whether actors Johnny Depp, Joaquin Phoenix, Collin Farrell, Jareto Leto or The Imitation Game star Benedict Cumberbatch would be chosen.

Just after the release of a new trailer announcement for the November 1 trailer airing for Universal Pictures' Furious 7, we now have an official first teaser poster which you can glance at just beneath!

Independent film company Robot Underdog has been tackling the live-action anime fray for sometime now following crowdfunding efforts back in March for the ambitious new webseries, Dragon Ball Z: Light Of Hope. Based on the classic Shonen Jump manga, the new project from directing and production duo Donnie and Rita McMillin has already earned the attention of well over twenty-thousand followers on Facebook, guaranteeing the promise of a hopeful series that will stay true to the core of author Akira Toriyama's famous property. In lieu of this, the team has unleashed a glossy new trailer full of intense drama and spectacular visuals to dazzle the eye.

At the moment, the most recent trailers we have seen for director Roy Chow's forthcoming kung fu origin epic, Rise Of The Legend seem to grant what looks like a promising spectacle for action fans. What remains to be seen though, is how it will deliver a proper reiteration of the classic story of martial arts master, Wong Fei-Hung, played by actor Eddie Peng. Well, in case you haven't taken note yet, action legend Sammo Hung is contributing his time and energy as the film's main pugilistic antagonist, and compared to last week's trailer, there's just a little more of that which you can now catch in a new short behind-the-scenes action featurette below.

Directors Kevin Ko and Peter Tsi's latest film definitely serves as a 'couples' movie while catering just a bit to the action and superhero genre fans as of late, although uncertainty looms regarding its release. Produced by Enlight Media and Star Ritz Productions Co. Ltd., the new film, A Choo, is based on the best-selling work of author Giddeons Ko and stars lead actor Kai Ko, who recently fell ill to one in a handful of drug-related scandals that plagued the industry in China and Taiwan.

SYNOPSIS: An ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him. With New York City as his bullet-riddled playground, "John Wick" (Keanu Reeves) is a fresh and stylized take on the "assassin genre." REVIEW:

I particularly share the opinion that the folks over at stunt training facility 87 Eleven Action Design are dog lovers. And I'm drawn to this possibility in noticing a bit of a pattern having caught one of their most recent shortfilms, Fetch, directed by action veteran and and stuntman Daniel Bernhardt, which plays off quite nicely as one way of telling a story that can generally relate to people. I mean, you have to be pretty soulless to not at least hold a special place inside for canines; I'm a dog lover myself, biased and shameless so... sorry not sorry. Alas, we are brought into the world of former hitman John Wick, four years into trying to turn over a new leaf only to have his world crumbling down around him…

Malaysia has proven to have its fair share of action films, and not a lot of them get the publicity they deserve. Hopefully one day that will change as directors continue to flourish, like that of Simon Long whose latest energetic freerunning flick, Rentap, certainly appears to have all the right moves to entertain its proper audience.

Several new posters have gone viral for the upcoming release of the newly titled commando action thriller, Wolf Warriors, following a teaser which unveiled back in July. Front and center is action star Wu Jing whose stellar career in the world of martial arts film and entertainment has so far led him to this, his solo directorial debut.

Director Riccardo Gabrielli R. is officially on the radar this month pending the latest news on the upcoming production for his newest fourteenth century superhero adventure, Zambo Dende. With that in mind, the prospects of this film seem even more hopeful with the film's reported backing from Disney, in addition to casting Chilean action star Marko Zaror for the title role just coming off of the heels with his most recent Fall 2014 festival favorite, Redeemer.

It's taken a while to happen, but there's finally some movement on director Toby Russell's latest action adventure thriller, White Tiger. Gorilla Pictures will be on hand to represent the film when it finally premieres at the American Film Market on November 6 at 3:00pm PST.

Kill List helmer Ben Wheatley's knack for vintage classic noir thrillers and hard-boiled action flicks may suit perfectly for his latest feature film, Free Fire. The film is setting up to be his first North American set project with producer Andy Starke under their Rook Films banner with financing from Film4 while they prepare to introduce the film at the American Film Market next month.

History can be pretty boundless, as well as beneficial, especially when covering martial arts and the cultures that exist around them. That said, 2015 became a banner year for Miami-based filmmaker Jonathan David Kane whose latest shortfilm documentary, Papa Machete, finally got an audience last month in Toronto.

With filming still set to commense in early 2015, the production for writer and director Baf Sjamsuddin's newest ensemble actioner, Gardua 7 has moved up a step with its first polished teaser trailer. The film is largely an inspired return to the glory days of a once-booming industry that highlighted veteran stars like Barry Prima and Willy Dozan.

Revisting the classic story of legendary martial arts master Wong Fei-Hung for the big screen is not something you take lightly. Alas, expectations are quite high for this newest origin telling from director Roy Chow in Rise Of The Legend, pitting lead actor Eddie Peng at the center of late Qing Dynasty upheaval in Guangzhou, against smarms of gangs and a human trafficking ring.

The latest teaser trailer for writer/director Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age Of Ultron was released in a rather unceremonious fashion on Wednesday night when it leaked online a week ahead of its scheduled television airing. That said, Marvel has decided to move forward with kicking off an advance look at the first official teaser poster.

While the big studios sort out the possibilities for the future of the Blade franchise with lead Wesley Snipes finally back at work, the character is obviously not limited to just what Hollywood can do. The independent scene has its own fair share of creativity in store, and the folks over at New York City's Cinematic Fight Studio are honing into theirs with the early release of a concept poster for a new possible fan film titled Blade: Chronicles Of Eric Brooks.

As far as live-action adaptations ago in the world of video games and films, there is plenty of room for improvement. Some projects fall short of expectations while others amazingly succeed, and this November, Microsoft and producer Ridley Scott are looking to see what they can bring with the forthcoming release of the new series, Halo: Nightfall.

SYNOPSIS:Special Agent Tom Hardy must assemble an elite team of scientists and soldiers to prevent the construction of a weapon so deadly a quarter of the US would have to be abandoned for decades. As the team members of the top secret unit, know as the SOL, struggle to find the balance between duty and their personal lives, an outside threat emerges. A serial killer is torturing women, leaving their bodies a mangled mess of scars and symbols. Special Agents Tom Hardy and Dr. Jan Baker are drawn into the game of cat and mouse as the remaining scientists and soldiers race to develop a solution to locate incoming stolen nuclear materials without alerting their enemies. Little do they know that their opposition is comprised of a deadly cadre of mercenaries, an arms dealer, a rouge IRA soldier, an assassin, and a mastermind whose motivations blur the line between terrorist and revolutionary.REVIEW:
Writer, producer and director Drew Hall's 2013 action thriller, Sons Of Liberty has som…

As far as movie promotion goes, the average Donnie Yen film has that area covered tenfold. The featurettes alone for his latest cerebral martial arts thriller from writer/director Teddy Chen, Kung Fu Jungle, speak highly of the caliber of action Yen is known for, even while recent films have been a general mixture of hits and misses.

It's been well over a year since I first talked about actor and martial artist Shahaub Roudbari who launched his channel last summer with the goal of creating entertaining diversity-driven content. Building on those efforts, Shahaub recently teamed with a colorful group of actors and filmmakers to help put together a pitch video for an inspired new television series that looks every bit as worthy of mainstream syndication as many popular shows to date.

As much as many of us still may want a Mortal Kombat movie, it doesn't appear to be happening anytime soon (I desperately want to be proven wrong). However, it looks like Warner Bros. is planning another live-action webseries as part of a new slate of projects courtesy of WB's digital production branch, Blue Ribbon Content.

SYNOPSIS:Former hitman Nicky Pardo (Zaror) has made a deal with God. Pardo will begin every day by holding a gun to his own head and pulling the trigger. And every day he does not die he will take it as a sign that he is meant to continue hunting down the men he used to work for.REVIEW:

By no means are your options limited here, particularly if you are a fan of the martial arts genre and always looking forward to something great to see. This was a lesson learned in my own evolution as a follower of these films while growing up, and as time passed, more and more talent has continued to emerge and drawing the attention of fans almost everywhere. Obviously this couldn't be possible without the evolution of the internet, a tool that generally removes almost all boundaries so people can share a piece of themselves with the world. Actor and martial artist Marko Zaror is one of those people, hailing all the way from Santiago, Chile with a breakout lead role in the first Chilean martial ar…

It was probably a matter of time before post-apocalyptic zombie game would follow in the footsteps of its predecessors toward cinema territory Granted, previous results like those stemming from that of the Resident Evil franchise don't fare critically as well despite its commercial success, although maybe something different or better will come along to help provide some optimism.

Actor Idris Elba is no stranger to performing phsyical action sequences on films, especially Sam Miller's No Good Deed, which kicking off its theatrical run last month at the top of the box office. At best, this is nothing short of a clear sign thay Elba has not lost his star power as he's proven to be one of the most tremendous and engaged actors working in film to date with a variety of high-priority films to keep in mind, including The Gunman next February, and King Arthur in 2016.

In what can only be described as one of the most exemplary cases of dilligence, the independent filmmaking team over at the now Los Angeles-based Z-Team Films have now seen the first of their long-awaited efforts come to pass. Their newest feature-length debut, Die Fighting, comes roughly fourteen years after the team first got together in Beijing by way of France, contributing to the growing popularity of online action shorts with notable gems like Duel and Brothers Forever.

Right about now you're waiting news over any and all pertaining to Chad Stahelski's John Wick: Chapter Three which is still in production. This week, some of the best news to arise now sees word that Tiger Chen, Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman have all joined the production starring opposite Keanu Reeves who returns to star.
A few photos have gone viral in recent weeks seeing Chen merely hinting a presence on set but this latest update is official. The three are said to play opposite Keanu Reeves according news over at The Hollywood Reporter with Chen back on set following a starring role in the 2014 kung fu spiritual drama, Man Of Tai Chi.
It's an update worth noting as it hopefully sets up for a larger Hollywood screen presence for all three martial arts stars who've seen their rise in all of the last nine years collectively, including that of Chen whose friendship dates back to production on The Matrix trilogy.

Well this is spiffy. Who Taffy Edwards is remains a mystery while said individual sits in the directors chair for upcoming independent crime pic, English Dogs. The film is set to arrive sometime this year and has Time Rush actors Byron Gibson (Only God Forgives) and martial arts sensation, action actor Ron Smoorenberg (Asura) leading the cast.
Plot details are nil as things stand, save for what we can extrapolate from the official trailer that premiered on Wednesday in addition to the film's doughty tagline: "There are 340 breeds of Dogs on the Planet but there can only be one Alpha". And that's about all we got to work with along with what the trailer offers in its ambitious British gangster tropes with Thailand as the backdrop, and watching Gibson throwdown along with shots of Smoorenberg in his element on top of chewing some scenery as a crimeboss, which is always welcome.
Check out the trailer below!

The last few years have seen the wheels turn quite a bit for director Jesse Haaja who made history in debuting Finland's first comic book superhero movie, Rendel. Nowadays he's developing other properties including Furrow, but that doesn't necessarily count out prospects for a sequel while genre specialist Raven Banner has anything to say for it.
Such is what includes Jeremy Kay's Screen International report this weekend with word that sales on a sequel to the Finnish superhero hit film have launched at the Cannes market. Producers at Black Lion Pictures and Frozen Flame Pictures are planning an early 2019 shoot on Rendel 2 which has Haaja returning to the helm to follow up the story of a family man previously resurrected from near-death with a brutal, masked alterego to seek revenge in the name of a city crying out for justice against a criminal organization and their pharmaceutical cohorts. “I can’t even describe how excited I am for this,” Haaja said of the ongoing s…

An exasperating wait, no less, for folks like myself who live in the U.S.. Still, it's nice to know that a Blu-Ray/Digital HD release of the new tournament martial arts thriller, Boyka: Undisputed, is well on its way with an August release, while it's even nicer to know that the film's star, actor and martial artist Scott Adkins wants to do a fifth.
He says so at around the 11:40 mark in his latest interview now online following his recent appearance at MCM Expo in London this week to discuss the role and the film as a whole - And not for nothing either as he continues to pound away at fans who enjoy his movies, but insist on stealing them online which will otherwise kill any chance of the film happening before 2030 if we're lucky (my words, not his).
Adkins also shares several new images from his latest, Accident Man, and some gems on Michael Cuesta's American Assassin, working with Tony Jaa on the recently-wrapped ensemble action thriller, Triple Threat, and muc…

With weeks away before cameras roll for upcoming martial arts mobster comedy, Made In Chinatown, we can report that the production will pair director Art Camacho with producer Robert Samuels who will also share the helm as co-director. The news comes roughly one week since Camacho's arrival to the director's chair after replacing another filmmaker who was already attached as the film underwent several months of development.
Camacho and Samuels will direct from a script by executive producer and author Mark V. Wiley that centers on Vinny, a hapless Chinatown resident who, with the help of his sifu and a select few good friends, works to assimilate himself into Italian mob life and gain top-tier status whilst in pursuit of the girl of his dreams. The independent New York City-set action comedy production lands stuntman, world-class wushu stylist and champion Gold medalist, actor Alfred Hsing (Ready Player One, Ip Man 3, Birth Of The Dragon) his first major acting role.

I myself couldn't really get past some of the fan-service that culminates all seemingly ado with the current Kickboxer franchise following the reboot in 2016. I suppose the best part is that Dmitri Logothetis has found a direction to take it in, onward from Vengeance through Redemption and now with the third, Kickboxer: Armageddon. And indeed, that's Alain Moussi in the footage donning a whole new Kurt Sloan we haven't seen before. Brand new look and all!
Other details are officially pending but Logothetis himself has mentioned the possible return of Mike Tyson, Ronadinho and Christopher Lambert in addition to George St. Pierre and other UFC and sports favorites...and Snoop Dogg for some reason? He's also presented a brand new teaser to help stir the fandom some, so check it out anf expect more Kickboxer news onward through 2019.

The May 17, 2019 release of John Wick: Chapter Three pretty much has everyone engaged losing their collective skulls at the moment. Production is already underway and confirming previous rumors of late is actress Halle Berry asserting her place in the cast.
Thus, she'll be joining in with a lot for the film's returning cast members, in addition to a wave of new names totaling actors Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane and Lance Reddick all reprising their roles, and with actresses Asia Kate Dillon and Anjelica Huston, and actors Mark Dacascos and Jason Mantzoukas to the cast.

Events at Cannes have been a turning point for some film fans highly keen on all things ado with action star, Jean-Claude Van Damme. Having made a splash this year with buzz for the launch of his Rodin Entertainment sales banner and announcing another slate of film prospects, his latest offering now brings us a pulsating look at Braqueurs helmer Julien Leclerq's new thriller, Lukas, otherwise hailed in our territories as The Bouncer.Lukas, a nightclub bouncer in his fifties who's taken punches, literally and figuratively, struggles to raise his 8 year old daughter. One day, Lukas loses control during an altercation with a client and ends up in jail, while his daughter gets placed under the care of social services. But things take an unexpected turn when Interpol recruits Lukas to bring down a Dutch ringleader operating from Belgium in exchange for his daughter's custody.

About five years ago I managed to interview stuntwoman, actress and producer Michelle Jubilee Gonzalez. It was through her I managed to build a rapport with several other veterans and up-and-comers in the industry whilst getting an angle going on covering the stunt field and it was a privelege to be able to exchange with her than as it still is now from time to time.

She's a talented singer as well - a fact that I was reminded of clean and clear when last year, I managed to screen one of her most recent short film appearances, Pimpkillah, courtesy of filmmaker and comic book creator Sarah Bitely. I think it quite surprised Michelle and that was sort of the feeling I got when I commented on one of her posts at the time.

Alas, the shortfilm has since gone public, marking a significant milestone for the budding filmmaker and comic book creator who moved from her hometown on the outskirts of DC/Baltimore in Maryland to Los Angeles, California in 2010. Her coming out party has assuredly …
